Breckinridge Montessori School

Breckinridge Montessori is located on a two acre stretch of land beautifully surrounded by big trees and an attractive neighborhood. The spacious rooms have large windows overlooking the garden. On the other side there are one way windows so that parents can come and observe their children any time of the day without disrupting the child or the class. The school accomodates children from 8 weeks, infants, toddlers, primaries and elementary through 9 years of age.There is an indoor and outdoor play area, a green house, a library, a computer lab and an aquarium. The commercial kitchen is usedto prepare nutritious and balanced meals for the students.

The school year runs from August to May with June and July as exciting summer camps. The teaching of music, Spanish and computers is included in the curriculum. There is a well organized after school program. Yoga, tap and ballet, art and gymnastics are offered at an extra price.

We employ a staff of compassionate personnel with pleasing personalities, lots of experience and high Montessori qualifications, guiding per Maria Montessori:

"Don't tell them how to do it, show them how to do it and don't say a word. If you tell them, they'll watch your lips move. If you show them, they'll want to do it themselves."

Philosophy-
At Breckinridge Montessori we believe that a child's environment should be simple and as natural as possible. This will stimulate the senses and develop his powers through activity so that he can soon master himself and all that is around him.

Through their work the children develop habits of concentration, perseverance, and self discipline. Each child progresses at his own pace in a friendly, multi-age atmosphere.
